Wearable Telemedicine Technology for the Healthcare Industry: Product Design and Development focuses on recent advances and benefits of wearable telemedicine techniques for remote health monitoring, prevention of chronic conditions, providing real time feedback and help with rehabilitation and biomedical applications.

Wearable telemedicine technology is currently establishing its place of large-scale impact in many healthcare sectors, because the information about patient health conditions can be gathered anytime and anywhere outside of traditional clinical settings, which saves time, money, and may even save lives. Wearable telemedicine technology is mainly comprised of two types: Monitoring and Therapeutic, where Therapeutic manages pain control and rehabilitation, and Monitoring provides alerting mechanisms that submit notifications to the hospital or a personal practitioner via wireless data transmission so that proactive measures can be taken immediately in case of readings that indicate an impending issue.

Wearable Telemedicine Technology for the Healthcare Industry provides readers with hands-on understanding of the various techniques used by software engineers, computer scientists, and biomedical engineers to apply intelligent systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality and augmented reality to gather, transmit, analyze, and deliver real-time clinical and biological data to clinicians, patients, and researchers.

This is the new frontier of healthcare delivery and research, rapidly expanding to touch all areas of disease detection, treatment, and control.
